Rockford fosgate prime 1200.1 or nvx 1200.1?

I've been looking into getting a new amp for my set up. I currently have two RE audio sxx 12d4 in a custom box I built. But I wanted a new project so I've decided to downgrade to two massive audio kilo 12d4. My old amp was a Rockford 2500 watt power series monoblock class d. But I sold it and am working on selling the Re's. I love Rockford amps but I've been looking into nvx also. I was curious if they (nvx) are any good. Also I was wondering if the prime series is good. They will both be 1200 Watts. Thanks in advance for reviews and any ideas and advice.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Nvx is a new company correct? They look good but I'd go with what's been a proven solid product. Rockford fosgate. Prime amps do rated and have a very nice price tag.

The RF Prime series has a high failure rate from what I've read.

The NVX amps are designed by Robert Zeff from Zapco and Arc fame.

I'd try the NVX over the Prime....but bro, if you are just looking for a good 1200w amp for $250, check this little monster out:

B2 Audio Quota Amplifier - 1200 @ 1 Ohm

..1400 rms @ 1 ohm and 1800 rms @ 1/2 ohm.

The NVX amp is supposedly from the same board as Polk D1000.1/ PPI P1000.1/Soundstream TN1.1200D. It's probably a decent amplifier due to that heritage. I'd prefer to buy the Soundstream or PPI version though. Soundstream TN1 was available for $200 from onlinecarstereo.com.

Thanks for all the replies guys, and I'm open to more suggestions for good 1200 Watt amps I just have a fairly small budget right now. Those b2 seen pretty legit from what all I've read. So I may end up going with that.
